Legacy High on modified lockout Friday after report of suspects with weapons heading toward school

Lockout at other Broomfield schools lifted within an hour

Broomfield police on Friday were investigating an anonymous call made to Legacy High School just before noon reporting two people approaching the school with weapons.

Legacy was placed on lockout while police investigated the call, but police have no further information on possible suspects or weapons, said Sgt. Kent Davies. No one was injured.

All Broomfield schools were placed on a precautionary lockout, but the lockout was lifted at other schools within an hour. Boulder Valley School District called off the lockout at about 12:30 p.m. and worked to notify parents about the situation, said spokesman Briggs Gamblin.

Legacy spent the rest of the day on a modified lockout, where anyone who entered was required to talk with a Broomfield police officer. Officers were stationed at the school until the end of the school day, Davies said.

Lockout is when the doors to the school are locked and no one is admitted or allowed to leave, but classes and activities continue as usual. The modified lockout at Legacy allowed students to leave, but all visitors had to speak to an officer.

Finding out more about potential suspects could be a challenge because the call to the school was anonymous, said Police Chief Tom Deland.

Fifteen officers arrived at the school within minutes of the call, he said.
